What it is

Pinterest – an online pinboard for different topics you are interested in

Default pinboard categories like “Products I Love” and “My Style” but you can create your own (HINT: creative pinboards get noticed)

Has been around since 2009 – more than 11M users last month (2012)

It’s a way to organize a LOT of content very efficiently

This user-friendly interface can impact how companies structure their websites going forward
